Happy 46th birthday to Johnny Marr, guitarist and songwriter with The Smiths, The Cribs and Modest Mouse, one of the great musicians of the 80s and 90s and still an immense talent.

Funk'nstein's Halloween Party (Club)

Kuplung, 31st October, 22:00
Király utca 46 [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Király utca (T4/6), 5 min

It was a bit of a struggle to wade through the numerous Halloween events and come up with one which should actually offer more than just a cheesy costume party. This one features a myriad selection of excellent DJs, including Tilos Radio favourites: Vittorio Waxman and DJ Sanyi, plus Tom Select and Joe Bonez.
Costumes still seem to be encouraged but something tells me they will be a bit cooler than those on offer elsewhere!

To completely escape from the Halloween mayhem, try a trip to the cinema!
